Visit J.K. Carriere’s little island in the sky atop the red rock and cobble of Parrett Mountain, where their small and smart winery beckons. Graceful and age-worthy Pinot Noir, rewarding views, wild-eyed winemaker, quintessential Oregon. Located only 40 minutes from Portland.

A great tasting experience!
Though this winery is off the beaten path, you can find it if you simply follow the directions on their website, and you will be rewarded with excellent wine, excellent view, and excellent service. The sister of the winemaker was pouring our tastes, and was a wealth of information about their wines and the area in general. We are glad we made the extra effort to visit them, and I would definitely recommend a visit to this winery to taste their great wines.

An Amazing Visit
We scheduled a tasting visit at JK Carriere with Linda Crabtree, who was an excellent host for an incredible wine tasting experience. My wife and I had visited this winery 6 years ago, and loved their wines. This trip we brought 2 other couples, and thought that they would enjoy JK Carriere as much as we did on our first visit to the Willamette Valley. And, they did! Linda did an excellent job educating us on their wines, and on the history of this winery. Their wines are incredible...and the winery is a really beautiful place to visit, as well. If you like fine, reasoanably priced wine, give JK Carrier a try.

Recommended by Local (Ohio) Sommelier
After deciding to make a trip to Oregon to visit wineries, we asked the sommelier at the top-rated local restaurant (The Refectory in Columbus) for recommendations. This was his top choice. We were not disappointed. As we would be in the area on Monday, my husband contacted the winery in advance. The tasting room was closed, but Jim (owner and winemaker) agreed to meet with us to explain the chemistry of pinot. The personal tour was amazing. Sitting with the winemaker is just not something you can usually experience. We joined the wine club (not all Oregon wines can be shipped to Ohio) and are looking forward to our first shipment! While we were without kids, they definitely would have enjoyed this visit. The vineyards are beautiful. The porches are very comfortable with a gorgeous view. There were even toys and games in the tasting room to keep kids busy. The drive to the vineyard is beautiful as well.

Great tour
The owner Jim gave us a tour of the vineyard and the winery and explained in great detail the process of growing the grapes and making the wine. The tasting that followed illustrated the exceptional quality of the wine he produces. A little off the beaten path but worth the effort
